Propose a change

Administration of Justice Act 1985

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

47 Power of High Court to make judgments binding on persons who are not parties.

(1) This section applies to actions in the High Court relating to the estates of deceased persons or to trusts and falling within any description specified in rules of court. (2) Rules of court may make provision for enabling any judgment given in an action to which this section applies to be made binding on persons who— (a) are or may be affected by the judgment and would not otherwise be bound by it; but (b) have in accordance with the rules been given notice of the action and of such matters connected with it as the rules may require. (3) Different provision may be made under this section in relation to actions of different descriptions.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
